I think that the unblocking of the European and American positions remains a central point of the farm negotiations, which are themselves at the centre of the ... talks.

I am half asleep but the negotiations are wide awake.

I don't think the negotiations are going very well. Positions are hardening when they shouldn't be. It is becoming an issue in terms of the financial resources some teams have and some teams don't.

The global trading system is undergoing a period of transition. Persistent imbalances, driven largely by macroeconomic factors, continue to be a cause for concern.

Things won't be any simpler in one, two or three months.

It would in my view be very strange, and that, by the way, was the reaction of a large part of the members.
